The NHS entered the pandemic already strained, with insufficient staff and beds, leading to massive cancellations of non-Covid care and inadequate treatment for severe Covid cases.
CAMPAIGNERS voiced discontent about the inquiry's witness selection, stating that only two of their proposed 23 witnesses were called, highlighting a potential oversight in understanding bereaved families' experiences.
The inquiry aims to examine NHS's response to Covid, gathering insights from over 30,000 healthcare workers, which will be essential for future preparedness and understanding past failures.
Lead counsel Jacqueline Carey KC emphasized the breadth of this module, focusing on NHS coping mechanisms during Covid and its pre-pandemic conditions, essential to shaping future healthcare.
